• Manage operational hygiene including expense tracking, document systems, data rooms, and internal SOP maintenance.
• Conduct structured research and track high-level action items to ensure leadership commitments are met with precision.

The ideal candidate

• Early-career operator (0-2 years experience) with high personal standards and the ability to infer intent from ambiguity.
• Ambitious, proactive problem-solver who applies common sense to resolve issues before escalating them to senior management.
• Disciplined executor who is comfortable with unglamorous work and thrives in a non-traditional, high-pressure professional environment.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
